Finalized Nanya Academy

“Everyone, please write down the school you wish to apply to on a piece of paper, write your name, and hand it to me. If there are any mismatches, I will talk to you within the next two days.

If I don't find you, it means there's a good chance you'll get in with hard work.”

Teacher Han finished speaking and gave everyone a few minutes to write their notes.

“Xiao Yue, have you decided where you want to go?” Chu Li asked her, thinking that once she decided on a school, he would follow her there.

“Not yet, but I don't want to go to Chongbei or Huaqing.”

Chongbei is a military academy, so it must be strictly managed.

Huaqing is the best academy, so it must be full of overachievers.

She still owed Chu Li nearly one hundred million star coins, so she had to find an academy with more free time.

Chu Li didn't know her thoughts and still asked, “What's wrong with Huaqing? Ye Junhe and Lin Zhiyi are both there.”

“There are too many capable people there, and I don't want too much pressure. It's pretty good to have more time to play around,” Gu Xiaoyue lied. Compared to others, she was the most hardworking.

Chu Li nodded and didn't say much more.

Finally, Gu Xiaoyue handed in a blank piece of paper.

Ye Wanrou also came to ask Gu Xiaoyue which academy she wanted to go to.

She was actually quite afraid that Gu Xiaoyue would say she wanted to go to Huaqing.

Because even with her Immortal Tier Unicorn, she might not be able to get into Huaqing.

However, thanks to Gu Xiaoyue's lanzhi grass, her Unicorn—Luan Song—was already Young life stage 4.

Just one day short; if it had upgraded one day earlier, she might have been able to go to Xiao Pan Mountain for special training with Xiao Yue.

“I haven't decided yet, Ye Wanrou. I'll tell you first when I do!” Gu Xiaoyue said, getting up and going to the Principal's office.

“What did you say? You want a year's worth of Devil Rank Beast Food?”

Principal Liu took off his glasses, looking at Gu Xiaoyue in disbelief.

Gu Xiaoyue scratched her head, “Principal, I'm telling you the truth, please don't tell anyone.”

Seeing Principal Liu nod in agreement, she continued, “It’s like this: an elder from Chu Li’s family obtained a Devil Rank pet beast in a secret realm previously.

As you know, Chu Li takes great care of me, and I have nothing good to repay him with. It just so happens that his elder finds it inconvenient to buy Devil Rank Beast Food, and Chu Li mentioned it to me, so I thought of getting a year's worth for him.

I wanted to please his elder.

Please, please, please don't tell anyone about this!”

“So that's how it is.” Principal Liu relaxed. He had been wondering how this girl could possibly have a Devil Rank pet beast; it turned out to be obtained by an expert from the Chu Family.

Gu Xiaoyue nodded firmly, looking both ingratiating and troubled, “Chu Li and I inquired at Hualian Building before, and not only do you have to pre-order, but you also have to leave your information, which is too much trouble.”

In short, she was afraid of exposure.

Devil Rank pet beasts are extremely rare, and their critical strike power, speed, and lethality are all very formidable.

Rarity makes something valuable.

Who would want to expose that they have a Devil Rank pet beast and cause themselves trouble?

Principal Liu nodded understandingly, “You didn’t think of getting yourself something good, did you?”

“Then I also want half a year of Celestial Rank Beast Food,” Gu Xiaoyue smiled, covering her embarrassment.

Principal Liu shook his head, “You little girl! Come pick up the beast food in a week—one year of Devil Rank, half a year of Immortal Tier.”

Gu Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, “Thank you, Principal! I want meat for the Immortal Tier!”

Two days later, Teacher Han spoke with Gu Xiaoyue, asking her why she hadn't written down the academy she wished to apply to.

Gu Xiaoyue told him truthfully that she wanted to go to a school where the academic workload wasn't so heavy. If all first-tier academies were that busy, a second-tier academy would also be acceptable.

Teacher Han frowned; he didn't know why Gu Xiaoyue had such a thought.

In his opinion, Gu Xiaoyue's current strength was completely capable of aiming for Huaqing Academy.

Huaqing, the academy that countless Beastmasters dreamed of, was directly eliminated by Gu Xiaoyue.

“Huaqing is the number one academy in Dragon Country, with strong faculty and exceptionally talented students. With your current strength, going to Huaqing would take you to the next level.”

Gu Xiaoyue remained silent. In her opinion, while knowledge and training in school were important, practical combat was also crucial.

Constantly confining her to campus was not as good as her learning while also seeking opportunities for practical combat.

Teacher Han sighed, “If you don't want to be too tired, Nanya Academy is a relatively good choice. For about the past ten years, Nanya Academy has ranked fifth among first-tier academies.

Their school's motto is 'happiness first,' so the academic pressure is relatively low, but there are also many geniuses, and the atmosphere is quite good.”

Gu Xiaoyue nodded, meaning that Nanya was indeed a good choice.

“Then Nanya Academy it is!”

“Official registration is only one month before the exam; you can change your goal at any time,” Teacher Han still hoped she could go to Huaqing.

Not just for herself, but also for the school's development.

Each additional student who attends Huaqing is an honor for the school itself.

“Okay, thank you, Teacher!” Gu Xiaoyue was beaming, not because an academy had been decided, but because Xiao Jiu's Fire Sea had reached advanced level!

Gu Xiaoyue's plan was to first upgrade all skills to intermediate, and then one by one to advanced.

Intermediate was quite easy to upgrade, taking only a few days.

Counting the days, one advanced skill would take over two months, which was quite a long time.

Gu Family

“Gu Qi, Gu Yu said he's coming back to the Gu Family! What should we do? I don't know what the old man is thinking, suddenly wanting to bring their family of three back!” Shen Jiajing stood with her hands on her hips, glaring furiously at Gu Qi.

Gu Qi quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth, “My dear aunt, lower your voice, don't let anyone hear.”

Shen Jiajing's eyebrows were furrowed together. She lowered her voice and said, “Aren't you anxious? The old man doesn't favor you much to begin with. If they come back, will we still have a place here?!”

“Of course I'm anxious! I heard that dead girl from the eldest branch is getting along quite well with the young master of the Chu Family. I think the old man wants to form a marriage alliance with the Chu Family again, that's why he insists on bringing their whole family back!”

Shen Jiajing's face was filled with venom, “What's wrong with our Xiaoxing? Her appearance, her temperament, what isn't better than that stinky girl's! That boy from the Chu Family must be blind!”

She was seething with anger and punched Gu Qi hard.

“What do you say we do now?”

Gu Qi sighed, “We definitely can't tell the old man, so there's only—” He drew a line across his neck with his hand.

Shen Jiajing understood and smiled sinisterly.

The day before the Xiao Pan Mountain special training.

As usual, Gu Xiaoyue had packed everything and was ready for bed.

Xiao Jiu's Water Wave and Qingqing's Luan Song had both reached advanced level a few days ago.

Gu Xiaoyue secretly chuckled under the covers; her performance in the Xiao Pan Mountain special training would be even better.

Although she was still excited about the special training tomorrow, she felt that Xiao Qi and the others were a bit restless.

Her Mental Power also sensed a murderous intent.

Gu Xiaoyue could summon four pet beasts to battle simultaneously; her Mental Power was almost on par with a quasi-legendary.

Something's wrong!

It felt like a venomous snake was staring at her, ready to pounce and bite her at any moment!
